[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 2847850, member: 84442"] Since we got our laser around 7 years ago, it has been a game changer. It's a 20W YAG fiber laser. We used to inscribe our calibers and other info using an old school pantograph with a diamond point and stencil letters to guide it. The laser is more than ten times faster. As the laser company rep told us early on, you will find uses for it that you never would have considered initially. We use it for marking calibers on rifles, marking Cerakote colors(on barrel bottom forward of recoil lug), marking our bottom metals and magazines, marking custom inert cartridges, engraving scope shades, labeling tooling and jigs, labeling our chamber reamers, marking barrel blanks and test barrels and on and on. The uses of a fiber laser are really limitless as well as being a huge time saver. That being said, I'd like to have a CO2 laser for marking materials other than metal. Here are some examples of some uses around our shop.
